Relakks – How to browse with Swedish IP address

A company in Sweden called Relakks offers VPN service that allows you not only to surf anonymously, but also to use clients and applications anonymously on the internet.

That means that when someone uses Relakks.com their internet traffic originates from Sweden – and there is no (easy) way to track that person’s connection back to the originating country or ISP. The Relakks.com VPN re-routes all of the client’s traffic through Sweden, effectively ‘hiding’ your internet connection behind a Relakks.com IP address.

How to use it

  1. Go to Relakks.com
  2. Sign out for a new account
  3. In order ro activate your account you have to purchase one of the two subscriptions: monthly and yearly.
    • The monthly option runs 5 EUR, (about $6.33 USD)
    • The yearly option is 45 EUR, (about $57.04 USD)
  4. Set up your Internet connection to use Relakks servers (take a look below to see how it is done)
  5. Start browsing with Swedish IP address using any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.)

    Have you used this service for an extended amount of time? I have read mixed reviews about slow speeds and/or outages. I recently tried to sign up with them but neither of my credit cards would go through. Just wondering if anyone can comment on these guys in terms of reliability.

    I am using relakks since more then 2 years on a nealry 24/7 base. Sometimes it works without problems. Sometimes it looses connection and cannot reconnect automatically but only after resetting the DSL/cable modem (which might be a problem of the modem).

    Well, I cannot connect to relakks anymore at all since 2 weeks or so, although I have paid. Either their PPTP server is down or I (or RELAKKS) is blocked somewhere for my canadian IP.
